If it's Wednesday, it must be...CAMEL TIME!

Come on. You know you love it. You were probably just thinking, Gee, I sure hope Linda has camels on her blog on this fine Hump Day -- it wouldn't be Wednesday without camels from Linda!

Well, it's your lucky day, for I am NOT one to disappoint!

Today's camel:

Isn't he jolly? Doesn't he just look so...so...um, not debonair, precisely...

Damn. What is the word I'm looking for?

Oh, yeah. Dumb.

*sighs* Okay, that was kind of mean. If I've offended any camel lovers out there, I apologize. It's not the camel's fault somebody dressed him (her?) up. Honestly, no one should do that to such a dignified creature. It's almost as bad as this one:

But not quite.

Maybe. It's a tossup, really. I know! Let's take a vote. Which camel looks dumber? Camel #1 (in the hat and tassels) or Camel #2 (in the clown makeup)?

[I KNOW. This post is a dumber than the camels. But it's summer now, and I think that excuses a lot. Just go vote, and try not to over-think it. ]

Oh, no, no, no. I gotta go with #2. Poor thing---that lipstick is not her shade at all! She needs a color consultation. I would have gone with something in a mocha, or even plum-ish. Her makeup artist needs to be fired. Really. That's just wrong. And the blue eyeshadow needs to go too....it's not subtle at all. She's a camel people, not a clown! Good help is hard to find. What can I say?

Sarah -- Oh, my gosh! You're right. What if it's a boy? That would make it even more humiliating!

Trisha -- I know what you mean. Camel sympathy. Who knew?

Kristina -- LOL! Nope, can't blame Tawna for this one. Even though she HAS agreed to take the blame for everything I do, so...

Patty -- Ha! Poor, poor #2. Tee-hee.

Bess -- Maybe she's the supermodel of cameldom. Could be she looks GREAT to another camel.

Diane -- Gaaah! Surely there can't be more?

Jen -- LOL! Oh, come on. You look way better than that camel in the morning, I'm sure. Well, almost sure. I've never really seen you first thing in the morning, so I can't be totally sure. But I'm going out on limb, and assuming. ;)

They were brought in in pioneering days as draught animals in the Red Centre. When the weren't needed any more because of the arrival of trucks they were released, now we have over 1,000,000 destroying sensitive desert habitats.
